BOOKINGS FOR DESTINATIONS across the northern cities of the country and to a bunch of tourist hotspots have seen a spike during the Holi long weekend.
According to data supplied by online travel platform ixigo, there has been an average 45-50% year-on-year (y-o-y) increase in flight bookings close to the festival, driven by a mix of homebound travel, leisure getaways and spiritual tourism.
